Truth or Lie

[carlson1]

Not mine, but a great great truth. I will even use this Sunday from my pulpit.

One day a man named Truth and a man named Lie stood by a river just outside of town. They were twin brothers. Lie challenged Truth to a race, claiming he could swim across the river faster than Truth. Lie laid out the rules to the challenge stating that they both must remove all their clothes and at the count of 3, dive in to the freezing cold water swim to the other side and back. Lie counted to 3, but when Truth jumped in, Lie did not. As Truth swam across the river, Lie put on Truth’s clothes and walked back in to town dressed as Truth. He proudly paraded around town pretending to be Truth. Truth made it back to shore, but his clothes were gone and he was left naked with only Lie’s clothes to wear. Refusing to dress himself as Lie, Truth walked back to town naked. People stared and glared as naked Truth walked through town. He tried to explain what happened and that he was in fact Truth, but because he was naked and uncomfortable to look at, people mocked and shunned him; refusing to believe he was really Truth. The people in town chose to believe Lie because he was dressed appropriately and easier to look at. From that day until this, people have come to believe a well-dressed lie rather than believe a naked truth.

Recognize truth and vote November 8, we need to make it harder for the liars to destroy and create votes in the middle of the night!!! America will never be a socialist/ communist country…

Another good Truth/Lie story from this mornings perusings...

Jacob, a Russian Jew, was finally allowed to emigrate to Israel.
At Moscow airport, a customs inspector found a statue of Lenin in his luggage and asked: "What is this?"
"Wrong question, comrade" replied Jacob... "You should have asked, who is this ? This is Comrade Lenin. He laid the foundations of socialism and created the future prosperity of the Russian people. I take it with me to remember our great hero. »

The Russian customs officer lets him go.

At Tel Aviv airport, an Israeli customs officer asked Jacob:"What is that ? "
"Bad question, sir. You should be wondering who is that? It's Lenin, the bastard who pushed me, a Jew, to leave Russia in shame. I take this statue as a reminder to curse him every day."
The Israeli official let him in.

In his new home in Tel Aviv, Jacob placed the statue on a table.
The following evening, he invited friends and relatives for dinner to celebrate his new home
Spotting the statue, one of his cousins ​​asked, "Who is that?"
"Bad question...you should have asked, what is it?
It's about eleven pounds of solid gold that I managed to bring back from Russia without having to pay customs duties or taxes.

Moral: "Politics is when you can tell the same story in different ways to deceive different people.
